Intra-uterine Devices and Systems - Coils
Efficiency - 98- 99% effective.

Description and How They Work

An intrauterine device - also known as a coil - is a small plastic device with a fine copper wire coiled around the stem. They are usually T-shaped and are fitted by a doctor using a simple procedure. It works by interfering with fertilisation and implantation. An intra-uterine device can stay in place for 3, 5 or 10 years depending on the type used. The best time to have a coil inserted is day 4 to 14 of your cycle. Insertion can be uncomfortable and can cause some period-like pains. It can also be used as a type of emergency contraception within 5 days of unprotected intercourse.

Advantages

This is a useful method of contraception if the pill is unsuitable for you or if you simply find it difficult to remember to take it. Its effects are immediate and immediately reversible. It does not spoil the spontaneity of sex and can be used when breast feeding.

Side Effects and Disadvantages

Menstrual problems - some women have slightly heavier and more prolonged periods once a coil has been fitted.

Infection - there is an increased risk of pelvic infection in the first 3 weeks after insertion of a coil. Increasingly many doctors routinely test for infection prior to insertion. The risk of infection is higher if a woman has more than one sexual partner.

Expulsion - the coil is expelled in 3 to 5% of cases and is most common in the first year of use. Coils have a thread that is 2-3 cm long and this thread can be seen and felt by your doctor at examination and some women are able to feel the threads for themselves which reassures them that the coil is still in place.

Conversely sheath contraceptives aren't the only option. Just because one of his friends chooses not to use them doesnt mean that they're irresponsible with their actions, and it turns out that is indeed the case. You jumped the gun first, not the other way round!

Edit: (Just to alter slightly accourding to your edit :D ) It's never a good idea to assume that just because condoms arent used that safe sex isnt practiced.

Condoms are the ONLY form of contrapective that protects against STD/STI.

*edit* I said his friend was an idiot because of his statement about sex without a condom being better. Young people today use this as excuse and that is how diseases are spread. Obviously not the case in relationships where both parenters have been tested and made the choice to use alternitive contraception.

And where did you state this? Nowhere so don't 'So please...' me. You said something which i feel was stupid and irrisponcible and i responded as such. He may well have a point, but one look at the level of STD's and unwanted pregnacy in this country proves not everyone is educated about the results of their actions. Therefore encouraging unprotected sex is simply, as i said, idiotic .

I dont need to state it. Most will tell it was meant as a joke (even though he has a point). What has the level of STD and unwanted pregnacies got to do with what he said (or what i said)? It wasnt in anyway encouraging unprotected sex - i dont see how.
Your opinion if you feel it is idotic but im sure anyone reading what i said will NOT decide to go an have unprotected sex just because it is on a forum. For those reasons i still maintain what i said.....Please!

BUT, if neither partner has one, and the relationship is monogamous then they arent required for that reason.

Listen, I admire your protection of your family & there's nothing patronising about my question. I never mentioned your age or whether you're ready to have kids or not, don't jump to conclusions.
I asked merely in a thread in which you were talking about contraception whether you had planned your latest or not.

Yeah, internet and forums can be very deceiving and not a benchmark for judging someone of what they might be in real life.

How did you manage that? They are suppose to be almost secure and "sperm-proof". Kinda rare to hear people having kids while on a coil..Condoms, pills, condom and pills...yeah but not coil. :eek:
 
What's this? A soap?

I really don't want to know about your sex life mate.
Sex is one of those intimate things that shouldn't really be shared with a forum of internet geeks with a semi.
